General Comments

Not having room for my old Hi Fi system when I moved house, which consisted of What Hi Fi 5 star components, and also watching more DVD movies I decided to opt for a sub sat system. After reading lots of articles and reveiws I decided to opt for the Acoustic Energy AGEO P5 sysem. However I have spent hours and hours moving the speakers around and playing with all the adjustment, I just can't get it to sound anywhere near as good as my old system. Having said that it is good with DVD movies. My advise to anyone thinking of going for a sub sat system and listen to a lot of music then stick with stereo Hi Fi.

    Looking at the other reviews here I wonder of Nick was expecting too much from such small and lets face it relatively cheap speakers. I would also suspect that it may have been the amps inability to convert stereo to 5.1 or surround stereo for music play back. A good amp may be the answer.

    I agree with the coments about the Aego P5 not being that capable in stereo. Having the P5 for over one and a half years now it has been good with movies, though stereo capabilities are not up to the same standards. I think that adding a new 'amp' would not solve problems, as the P5 can play music not just in multi-channel mode but also in stereo. Though a better processor may be of use and improve sound quality. The P5 at the time I was purchasing it cost around 5-6 hundred pounds (not that i paid this much), and i think does sound up to these standards. All in all the P5 has just been a bit of fun for me, though i don't think the Aego P5 and Aego M are that great of product in stereo. In that case i think a Hi-fi would be a much better option for those who listen to music most of the time.

    Im not supprised they are not up to the standard of the 5* What hi stuff. Also i'm not suprised that they are not as good for CD's. Firstly AE do other speakers which are up to the 5* stuff and are more designed for playing music. If you want that quality take a look at AElite series for example or the reference speakers. I also like to add that even the Aego range comes with a model designed specifically at playing music from a music source like an MP3 player.
